Truly the best vintage finds are those that belonged to our own family members.

Though she may not remember much these days, my grandma can still dig through a
pile of family photos with me and point out all the names of faces that
have long ago passed. Some of my favorite stories come from the early 60's, when my grandma and my mother lived in Cocoa Beach, Florida and owned the Cocoa Bowl-a-rama. Photos below!

I spent the majority of this weekend cleaning and embroidering and generally getting ready to go to home to San Diego. I haven't been home since June and I am so so excited to see my friends, my family, my dog(!), and the lovely lovely ocean. If you weren't aware, the Southern California Pacific is quite a different beast than the Northern ;) Plus! Mexican food. Nobody (except Mexicans) does Mexican food like San Diego.

Getting back on track... rather than slop together a half-assed MCMM post, I have decided to share with you my all-time favorite post of this series, Midcentury Monday #12. It was published in the middle of August! It's just so pretty to look at and the information makes driving around in old neighborhoods a bit more fun.

Without further ado! Midcentury Monday #23 1/2:

We learn the different styles of midcentury roofs!
